Kennett- Parent Summer Camp Guide - 2018
Welcome to Summer Camp 2018! For more than 110 summers, the YMCA of Greater Brandywine has helped kids enjoy their summer through our core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. For kids, YMCA day camp is a fun way to enjoy the summer and for parents it’s a way to give children a positive experience that builds character. In YMCA day camps, kids will have fun making new friends, learning new skills, and growing in self-resilience. Communication and parent involvement are essential for a positive camp experience. Please make every attempt to read the literature posted at your child(ren)’s camp site, the electronic newsletters, and any information that is sent home. Your understanding and cooperation with camp policies will ensure a smooth summer for all of our children. This guide provides useful camp information. If you need additional information, have questions, or would like to discuss your child’s camp experience, please feel free to contact the camp program director. We look forward to serving your family this summer!

The YMCA will work with prospective or current participants in our programs, and/or their<br />
parents/guardians, to promptly address all requests for modifications to the YMCA’s<br />
policies, practices and procedures and/or for auxiliary aids or services and to determine<br />
what reasonable modifications and/or auxiliary aids and services are available. Our goal is<br />
to ensure that all participants in our programs with disabilities have access to the full and<br />
equal enjoyment of all YMCA programs. Accordingly, the YMCA conducts individualized<br />
assessments on the specific facts of each request and will not apply a general prohibition<br />
against providing particular types of reasonable modifications. The YMCA will make<br />
reasonable modifications for individuals with disabilities, including children with diabetes,<br />
unless the request for modification amounts to a fundamental alteration of the applicable<br />
YMCA program. Similarly, the YMCA will provide auxiliary aids and services for individuals<br />
with disabilities, unless the request for the auxiliary aids or services creates an undue<br />
burden or amounts to a fundamental alteration of the applicable YMCA program.<br />
The YMCA prohibits retaliation against any individual for exercising their rights to request<br />
and/or receive a modification to the YMCA’s policies, practices and procedures or auxiliary<br />
aids and services. The YMCA further prohibits retaliation against any individual who in<br />
good faith participates in any investigation or proceeding related to a request for<br />
modification to the YMCA’s policies, practices and procedures or auxiliary aids and<br />
services.<br />
Release of Records<br />
A request must be made in writing prior to the YMCA releasing any records. In order to<br />
fully protect your child’s privacy we will not accept faxes. Requests for the release of<br />
records will only be granted to persons/caregivers registering the child for services. Any<br />
release of information will be made according to the YMCA of Greater Brandywine<br />
operating procedures with regards to business records.<br />
Surveys<br />
Occasionally throughout the summer, the YMCA will send out electronic surveys to parents<br />
to provide you with a voluntary opportunity to provide feedback on the program and our<br />
level of service to you and your child. We encourage your participation in these surveys<br />
as it is a significant tool for the YMCA to strive for program excellence.
